After following this course, the student can:
- Define a research question and derive sub-questions.
- Describe the anatomy and physiology of specified/studied parts of the body.
- Substantiate on the definition of the term “biomaterial”.
- Indicate which conditions / requirements a biomaterial must meet in order to qualify for the replacement of a tissue / organ in the human body.
- Cooperate/collaborate/work with other members in a group on a group assignment.
- Understand how to approach the conceptual modelling process.
- Develop a conceptual model for the solution or design of a problem. In other words, create a coherent, well-structured, scientifically informed, clearly explained elaboration (a 'story') of solution or design idea for the (partial) solution of a specific physiological problem, where the solution or design consists of one or more biomaterials.
- Evaluate one's own design using a biomaterial critically against self-established criteria.
- Give feedback and incorporating it in the report.
- Present the results of the project assignment in writing.
- Gather information to understand an assignment, research question or problem definition.
- Formulate meaningful research questions based on the assignment description.
- Formulate searches based on the research question.
- Evaluate the relevance and quality of the selected information.
- Report the search in a document. Referring in a formal way to used literature.
regarding WHAT is described in a scientific article
- Describe the broader societal goal or technological problem of the research as well as more specific research question, as described in a scientific article.
- Identify the measurement method in a scientific article that was used to answer the specific research question in that article.
- Using the results and conclusions from scientific literature to formulate your own research question and method, and describe this in a reflection report.
regarding HOW research is conducted
- Describe the relationship between scientific research presented in a scientific article and the development of a biomaterial / biomarker.
- Explain which criteria are important to evaluate the reliability of new biomaterials / biomarkers, as discussed in the module.

This module consists of a project assignment with a number of sub-assignments that will be carried out in 10 weeks. In addition, there are a number of supporting courses during this period in which knowledge and skills are offered that are necessary for the successful completion of the project. The assignment that will be worked on in groups in the project is: Using literature research, describe how the development of a biomaterial is brought about and which factors play a role in this. The students themselves will have to collect and acquire an important part of the information and material required for the implementation of the project, for example, by means of literature study but also by combining information from the literature study with other courses, practicals and project lectures.
The Chemical Biology course deals with a number of topics related to biomaterials. This mainly involves understanding which structures biomacromolecules can make by how they interact with each other. Biochemistry lectures will provide insights into the structure and function of the most important biochemical molecules and the function of enzymes and membranes. In addition to knowledge of materials, the tissues and organs to which the biomaterials can be applied must also be addressed. In the Anatomy course, the structure and functions of different tissues and organs are explained/discussed. This quartile will also focus on Mathematics, and a number of group assignments will be discussed, in which the importance of mathematics for biomedical technology will become clear.
In summary, students address the following project question:
"Describe, using literature survey, how the development process of a biomaterial is organized and which factors play a role during development and upon implementation.”
They employ the knowledge from the courses, as well as literature study. The mathematics course is linked to the biomedical domain, but not directly integrated into the project.
